Perth car rentals

As parking can difficult in Perth, opting for a compact car is advisable. Choosing a 4-wheel-drive car can also bear advantages when planning trips out of the city. As drivers sit on the right-hand side, the gear shift has to be used with the left hand, so drivers who are not used to that should go for an automatic car.

Speed limits in Australia are given in kilometers per hour. Unless posted otherwise, regulations are 40 km/h (24 mph) in school zones, 50 km/h (31 mph) in residential areas, 70-80 km/h (43-49 mph) in two-lane country roads, and 100-110 km/h (62-68 mph) on freeways and bush roads. Note that posted signs are on the left side of the road rather than the right.

Street parking in Perth can be tricky and on the expensive side, so, if possible, opt for accommodation with a parking space included. Metered on-street parking is an option, but keep coins ready as many meter machines to not take credit cards and don’t even give change. Additionally, street parking is usually restricted to a maximum of two hours. Parking lots (called “car parks” in Australia) and garages are an alternative where cars can be parked longer, but they are usually quite expensive (up to AUD$5 per hour, which is about $3.60).
